Chapter 166: Qifeng Is Her Home...
The voice was ethereal, with a hint of escapism.
It also contained coldness. The moment it reached Xu Qing's ears, it turned into a wisp of ice water that filled his mind, and then spread throughout his body, turning into a trembling cold. Xu Qing's body trembled, his breath turned into white mist, his eyebrows and hair began to freeze at this moment, and his whole body stiffened instantly. It seemed so weird that it was so far away that it was irresistible. Even Xu Qing had an illusion, as if there was nothingness all around him at this moment. Cracks appeared, surrounding him like ice. Not to mention the forty-four orifices in the body.
He clearly felt that the magic orifice in his body had become dead. The magic power inside was also like this. While it was running extremely slowly, the spiritual vortex was also like this. As for life fire.
In this state, it is impossible to ignite the life fire!
This article made Xu Qing's mind tumble violently. The sense of security he had gained after turning on the Life Fire instantly dissipated. It also made him realize that it was easy for a strong person to suppress the Xuan Yao State. But Xu Qing was not without any ability to fight back. At this moment when his whole body was cold, he felt the residual warmth on his life lamp. This temperature has not been completely cooled by the cold outside, and there may be a chance to forcefully ignite the life fire.
This realization made Xu Qing more vigilant. He knew very well that he could never let anyone know about the life lamp, so he once again made sure that his shadow was still behind the life lamp. He took a deep breath and turned around with difficulty to look. Toward behind.
The moment he turned around, he saw two women, one middle-aged and the other a girl, appearing there at some point.
The middle-aged woman is wearing a red double-breasted official dress, which is embroidered with purple gold silk with exquisite patterns of butterflies and flowers. The lining is extraordinarily luxurious, like the rising sun in the sky. But the aura of unmeltable ice all over his body was as obvious as the coldness in his expression, especially his eyes, which were as deep and round as the springs of an ancient well, and could not be seen to the end at a glance. It seemed that everything she looked at was icy cold, and if others stared at her for a long time, they would be affected to penetrate their souls. At this moment, she was condensing Xu Qing.
The clothes she wore were not those of any Yifeng, and Xu Qing had never seen each other in Qixue Sleep, but Xu Ji knew the girl next to her.
The girl was wearing a large lavender robe, like a long skirt, with an ancient sword on her back. She had a ponytail raised up. Her hair looked heroic and her exposed skin was white and rosy.
The whole person looks both heroic and gentle, especially when he smiles at this moment, which makes the sky of his eyes turn into crescent moons. However, he has a good background. Although he is strongly affected by the eyes of this middle-aged woman at this moment, Shang Neng acted as usual, so he clasped his fists and bowed respectfully to Aunt Ding Xue as he spoke.
This scene made the middle-aged woman's cold eyes reveal a hint of surprise. She looked Xu Qing up and down and spoke calmly. "No need to be restrained.
After saying that, she noticed that the niece next to her was staring at Xu Qi with a bright light in her eyes. As a person who has been here, she naturally knew what this look meant, so she sighed in her heart, and the coldness on her body dissipated a little, and her tone Also slightly slower.
"I called you here today to give you a sect task, to be Ding Xue's protector for the time being."
"Auntie, we are helping each other among friends!" Ding Xue quickly spoke first, holding her aunt's hand and shaking it with a charming expression.
Xu Ji's expression remained as usual and his posture remained unchanged, but there were waves in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't expect Ding Xue's background to be so great. On the other hand, the cultivation of this peak master gave him the kind of feeling that Mao Jian had at the beginning. A similar feeling when becoming a peak master.
At the same time, this contact also gave Xu Qing a clearer perception of the terror of the Peak Master's level.
At this moment, with Ding Xue's coquettishness, the middle-aged woman's cold expression melted, and she felt doting. She touched Ding Xue's head and spoke to Xu Qing.
"Xu Qi, you and Ding Xue are friends. I am not talking to you today as the deputy peak master, but as an elder." This is the front line, it’s not very safe. Ding Xue must come, and I have other things to focus on. I’m worried about her safety, and I need your help to protect her for a month. What do you think?” After you finish, I’ll give you a The right to withdraw from the war at any time, and three disordered teleportation talismans will be given to you. Hearing the words "Disordered Teleportation Talisman", Xu Qing's heart beat faster instantly.
He knew about the disordered teleportation talisman, which was a kind of jade treasure that was more valuable than many magic weapons, any one of which cost more than 700,000 to 800,000 spiritual stones.
The most important thing is that this object is extremely rare, and people will often rush to buy it as soon as it appears. Xu Qing also picked up one before leaving that day in the Mingqi Pavilion in Pengming District, the Sixth Peak, but it was not for sale. , the function of this object is equivalent to a second life. It can be used in most areas. It can be teleported away after crushing it. However, the place of teleportation is irregular. It can appear nearby or thousands of miles away.
And this matter was obviously brought up by Ding Xue, otherwise if he really wanted to find someone to protect him, with three disordered teleportation talismans as a reward, there would be a lot of strong people vying for him. So Xu Qing glanced at Ding Xue.
Seeing Xu Qing's eyes falling on her, Ding Xue blushed and gave Xu Qing a sweet smile.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged lady shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashed in her deep eyes, put a storage bag in Ding Xue's hand, and spoke lightly. "You decide." With that, she turned and left.
Seeing that her aunt was gone, Ding Xue hurried to Xu Qing's side and spoke quickly.
"Senior Brother Xu Ji, that is my town. On weekdays, she does not live in Qixuetong but in the Xishan Islands. I told you when you saw me off at sea that day that she was the one who asked you to go with me to pay homage. .
"Zhao Zhongheng insisted on following me that day, but my aunt was so nice that she gave him a pill. Originally, I would give it to you if you came with me. Zhao Zhongzhi used that pill to form the Forbidden Sea Dragon Whale. Cheaper that guy. Xu Qing was silent when he heard this. After a while, he looked at Ding Xue and asked. "The peak master of the seventh peak belongs to you," he is my uncle. "Ding Xue said with a smile. Xu Qing was silent again.
"However, there were some ideological conflicts between my aunt and my uncle and their Taoist companions, so my aunt moved out of the Seven Blood Pupils many years ago and went to live in the Spanish Islands. This time it was also a war between the Seven Blood Pupils, so she came.
"Senior Brother Xu Qi, can you protect me this time? In fact, I am here to increase my qualifications. The sect also has core disciples, and my little Tang plans to have me report to the Seven Sects Alliance. This requires My resume is real and I am more skilled. In addition, I plan to focus on grass and trees in the future, so Brother Xu Ji, can you please help me with my tutoring during this time? Ding Xue did not hide it, told Xu Ji what he needed, and at the same time The storage bag was handed over. Obviously, regardless of whether Xu Qing agreed or not, he would give the disordered teleportation talisman inside to Xu Ji. Xu Qing looked at the storage bag and then looked at Ding Xue, who looked expectant.
Xu Qing still appreciated Ding Xue's hard work and eagerness to learn. Moreover, whether it was the opponent's original Star Building Jade Slip or the three disordered teleportation talismans now, he had no reason to refuse. Ding Xue's approach, It also made him feel very comfortable.
So Xu Qing nodded and took the storage bag, which contained three jade talismans that emitted a soft light and contained abundant mana. "That's great, thank you, Senior Brother Xu Ji." "Ding Xue was very excited, and she wanted to take Xu Qing's arm, but Xu Qing avoided her. Ding Xue did not show any abnormality, still smiled sweetly, led Xu Qing into a teleportation point, and left the core command headquarters.
In the following time, except for going back to her aunt at night, she would always follow Xu Qing and complete her frontline journey on the mermaid tribe's bird island.
But Ding Xue is very smart. Although she fought for this opportunity for Xu Ji and had some selfish motives, she did not show it too obviously. Instead, she dragged Xu Ji to take on some special tasks.
From Ding Xue, Xu Qing also learned that the mission of the original core disciples was different from theirs. The core disciples' tasks have more rewards and significantly reduced dangers, and most of them can be completed on the island. However, as a core disciple, he is extremely involved with the sect.
It can be said that if the Seven Blood Pupils one day reach an irreversible catastrophe, disciples like Xu Qing can leave calmly without being hunted down. But the core disciples will definitely be eliminated with all their strength. So becoming the core has pros and cons.
Xu Ji didn't have any envy. He thought it was good the way it was now, and in the following days, he would take Ding Xue to complete various small tasks assigned by him every day. For example, sending important supplies from one island to another, doing some aftermath work, counting some casualties, etc. Basically there is no difficulty and there is no danger to life safety. In her spare time, Ding Xue would also consult him about vegetation knowledge, and every time she would give him spiritual stones that respected the knowledge.
Although in Xu Qing's opinion, one or two hundred spirit stones each time are no longer as valuable as they once were, the suspicious idea of a sand-shaped tower still exists in his heart. Until seven or eight days passed, the tasks Ding Xue took gradually became more difficult. For example, looking for some mermaid rebels and the hiding place of the sea corpse clan here.
The danger level of this type of mission is already high, but after all, this is a frontline headquarters, so the height is limited. In addition, sect support is relatively fast, which is very suitable for core disciples to experience.
Ding Xue seems to attach great importance to resumes. These dangerous tasks are often at the forefront, and she is not afraid of getting hurt at all. The more dangerous it is, the faster she rushes over.
But under Xu Qing's careful protection, Ding Xue was in danger every time and the crisis was resolved. This made Ding Xue a little anxious. This didn't fit into her plans.
Especially when one month was approaching, she gritted her teeth. One morning, when she met Xu Qing again, she suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. His face was pale and his body was swaying, as if he would fall down at any time. Xu Qing was startled, looked at Ding Xue a few times, and felt slightly moved. He found that Ding Xue's internal cultivation was in chaos, his energy was in a ball, and many meridians were blocked. It was difficult for him to recover from the epidemic in a short time. It was obvious that he was seriously injured. "Senior Brother Xu, it's all my fault, I was too impatient.
"I felt that I was too weak and wanted to break through to Dayuan Man as soon as possible, so my practice went wrong last night, resulting in severe physical injuries. Ding Xue's face was pale, she could barely support her body and spoke bitterly. "And my aunt also went to the battlefield. She is not here. My search has been fruitless." You can rest for a few days. When you recover from your injuries, you can complete the mission again. Hearing this, Xu Qing spoke to comfort him. "no!
Ding Xue was anxious and quickly refused, thinking secretly in his heart that if he really let me go back to rest, wouldn't my injuries this time be in vain?
